[Context: A cartoon explaining the advantages of the Ajusto app and how it works. Throughout the video, a narrator reads the audio content.]

[On-screen action: The Desjardins Ajusto app is displayed on a cellphone. The background is a bird's-eye view of a highway winding through a forest.]

[On-screen text: The Ajusto® program]

Desjardins Insurance is offering the Ajusto program for free in the Desjardins Insurance Home-Auto app.

Ajusto takes into account your driving behaviour and habits to offer you a more personalized auto insurance premium.

[On-screen text: Steps 1 2 3]

Let's look at how it works in 3 steps.

[On-screen action: A small car is featured to the left of a cellphone.]

[On-screen text: Step 1. Download the Desjardins Insurance Home-Auto app]

Step 1: Download the Desjardins Insurance Home-Auto app on your smartphone and enter your policy number.

[On-screen action: A check mark is displayed on the cellphone. City skyline in the background.]

Go to the Ajusto section under the Prevention tab and sign up for the program through the app.

[On-screen action: The cellphone displays a map of a sample driving route. House appears to the right with a Wi-Fi symbol above the roof.]

You don't need to have a data plan to use Ajusto. Your driving data will be sent when your phone is connected to Wi-Fi.

[On-screen action: Cars driving on a highway in both directions. Speedometer appears on the right side of the screen.]

[On-screen text: Step 2. Drive safely]

Step 2: Drive safely.

Once Ajusto is activated, it will analyze when, where and how you drive to calculate your overall score.

Ajusto looks at:

[On-screen action: Cars continue to drive on the highway. A traffic sign pops up indicating MAXIMUM 50.]

[On-screen text: How fast you drive]

How fast you drive

Respecting the speed limit is an excellent way to reduce the risk of an accident.

[On-screen action: Cars on highway suddenly speed up and knock and spin the sign. The outline of a hazard sign appears.]

[On-screen text: How quickly you accelerate]

How quickly you accelerate

Smooth acceleration will give you a higher score.

[On-screen action: View from the side. A car on the left nearly rear ends a car on the right.]

[On-screen text: How hard you brake]

How hard you brake

[On-screen action: A double-direction arrow grows and separates the cars to a safer distance.]

[On-screen text: Safe distance]

Always keep a safe distance from the vehicle in front of you. It gives you more time to brake gently and avoid a collision.

[On-screen action: A cellphone with blank chat bubbles appears. Background is a vehicle dashboard, symbolizing texting at the wheel.]

[On-screen text: How often you look at your cellphone]

How often you look at your cellphone

Using a cellphone while driving is one of the main causes of accidents. Don't use it, to help make the roads safer for everyone.

Ajusto also looks at:

[On-screen action: Numbers add up on a speedometer.]

The shorter your trip, the lower your risk of getting into an accident.

[On-screen action: Clock hands turn very quickly.]

[On-screen text: Where you drive daily]

Where you drive daily

The more regular your daily routine, the less likely you are to encounter surprises and get into an accident. That means your score will be higher.

[On-screen action: A car is parked to the left of a cellphone featuring risk factors, like Distance, Time of the day and Trip routines.]

[On-screen text: Step 3. Learn more about your driving habits and check your score]

Step 3: Learn more about your driving habits and check your score.

[On-screen action: Return to the screen with cars driving on highways and overpasses. A hazard symbol pops up.]

[On-screen text: Safe driving habits can help reduce your auto insurance premium by up to 25%]
